Aletheia is variously translated as "[[unconcealedness]]", "[[disclosure]]", "[[revealing]]", or "[[unclosedness]]". It is also sometimes treated as "truth", but Heidegger himself later argued against this. The literal meaning of the word ἀ–λήθεια is "the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident." It also means factuality or reality. It is the opposite of lethe, which literally means "oblivion", "forgetfulness", or "concealment" according to Pindar's First Olympian Ode. | Aletheia is variously translated as "[[unconcealedness]]", "[[disclosure]]", "[[revealing]]", or "[[unclosedness]]".
